More quotes by Michael Crichton
Sometimes I think man needs to feel a special position within nature, and this leads him to believe that he is either specially hated by other animals or specially cherished. Instead of the truth, which is that he's just another animal on the plain. A smart one, but just another animal.
Michael Crichton

Michael Crichton
Increasingly, the mathematics will demand the courage to face its implications.
Michael Crichton
In the end, science offers us the only way out of politics. And if we allow science to become politicized, then we are lost. We will enter the Internet version of the dark ages, an era of shifting fears and wild prejudices, transmitted to people who don't know any better.
Michael Crichton
The people in Hollywood are fabulously stupid.
Michael Crichton
Safety is the last refuge of the scoundrel!
Michael Crichton
A man can see by starlight, if he takes the time.
Michael Crichton
To give up responsibility for our lives is not healthy.
Michael Crichton
Geniuses never pay attention.
Michael Crichton
You know, at times like this one feels, well, perhaps extinct animals should be left extinct.
Michael Crichton
